I LOVE this company. More than once they have helped me in a real estate transaction where another pest control company has completely overbid the job. In this case, they tented my new home in San... Carlos and completed all the repairs. Everything was done on time, EXACTLY as promised. Office staff were accessible. The crew was experienced and friendly. My place was left IMMACULATE! I read that really negative review and really find it hard to believe that - he is describing a completely different company!

MESSY WORK, 10/23/2014

They left dirt piles every where driveway, alley and side walks. Knocked over things that where away from the house. Our fence looks like it was attacked by an angry monkey. Then put back up by a... blind guy. No offense to the blind i feel you could do a better job.
Then we get a call to inform us that the house was broken into during the tenting process. It's funny that the burglars knew exactly what window to enter to gain upstairs access out of the 20 windows we have in the two houses that where being tented.
Im not claimming they broke the law. Break ins while your house is being tented is 1 in 10 for San Diego. So leave nothing of behind but bugs and bannanas to try and keep the monkeys happy.

Good Choice!

D&S provided great service from beginning to end. They repaired, replaced and painted the fungus damaged wood trellis above our front porch, as well as the wood eaves alongside our roof. The work was completed in a timely fashion, (before they tented and fumigated our home.) The office staff, carpentry crew and the fumigation employees were professional and efficient. We are satisified and recommend D&S Termite!

We are truly satisfied with our choice of D & S Termite for our home. They were completely professional, always on time and pleasant to work with. Each and every step of the process was clearly explained, all questions were answered and the fumigation procedure was made as comfortable as possible for us. We would gladly recommend their services to our family, friends and neighbors. Thank you!

We just completed two services with D&S. It was a nightmare. We were not allowed to have enough bags to pack up food, since some people package up items not needed to be packed, to keep THEIR cost down and other things. The billing was wrong. We were given a discount since we had two houses tented, but when the amount was charged to our card, the morning a conversation took place, the discount was not given. We had to call and get the discount used, but the person who authorizes the refund was not in, we could not get the amount refunded immediately. It was given when Dawn arrived at work. It took over 2 weeks to get the charge paperwork sent to our home, but the bills came the DAY the tenting was removed. The written instructions were not as the spoken instructions.
We do want to say that the workers were very nice, but there was one manager who was not completely polite to his workers--they were not working fast enough for him. They did a nice job of cleaning up most of the stuff, but we did have to return lots of the dirt that had been dug up. Interesting that we were asked to post a "positive" review.

Great Job

We utilized D&S based on a recommendation from our long time home maintenance contractor and they did not disappoint. Everything on schedule and I was impressed on how they took extra care to not wrap my satellite dish.

D&S tented our house & detached garage and did a great job. We knew exactly what to expect, they were on time and they were professional and courteous. A property manager friend recommended them and I understand why.

Great people, good price, adequate follow through.

I'll start at the beginning. We got several inspections and bids because we saw a small swarm in the house. D&S was straight forward about recommending a tenting (we had some local treatment already) and I appreciated that. They sent everything I needed with thorough instructions. As the date got closer, they answered every question in every e-mail or phone call I made. They even had the inspector return to give me some tips on preparation. On the day of the tenting, they arrived and quickly got to work. They were done on time and the house was completely aired out and ready for us to live in. Here are the buts..........
1. They need to use dirt from your yard to seal the tarp in places. I thought that they would take the dirt from one spot and then return it to the same spot neatly, BUT they dug up several areas and that was a bit of a mess.
2. I have decorative rock on one side of my house and I had to move it back from the house AND pull back the yard cloth, too. That was a big pain in the neck!
3. AND HERE'S MY REAL GRIPE...I had warned the office about the aluminum lattice cover over my patio and told them it would not bear weight. I had a new roof put on 2 years ago and they managed to not dent or bend it but D&S bent down on two of the slats (one pretty badly) and then pushed it back into place.
4. I also found that one roof tile was torn. (As I said, the roof is 2 years old)

D & S Termite Pest Control recently fumigated our home as part of our annual contract. They were thorough, quick and efficient as well as careful in putting the "tent" on our 2 story home. They were careful about the plants around our home too.

Excellent on everything

I found this company on Kudzu and went with them because they had the best reviews out of about 20 I checked out. Fair price, on time with everything, they took great care around our plants and cleaned up at the finish.
The carpenters were here yesterday and did a superior job. Actually better then expected. It is very rare to have work done on your house and be totally satisfied with the results. On top of all this they are very friendly and informative.

Maybe It's Just Us?

Relying on other reviews, I chose D&S to termite 2 houses, done on the same day. They were GREAT at estimating and scheduling on short notice, getting us the contracts quickly, explaining the process. However, if you have any plants around your house that you value at all, dig them up and move them FAR AWAY from the structure before tenting. I dutifully went around both houses and trimmed back all the plants at least 12 inches away from the house. Tipped the plants on trellis's away from the house, leaving at least 12 inches clearance. The tent installers stood the trellis's back up against the house, tucked the bushes inside the tents, and even dug up a plant to use the dirt to help hold down the tent. On the plus side, I haven't seen any sign of termites since.
